We will gather to celebrate the good news of our saviour’s birth with the following services over the Christmas season:
Christmas Eve
Christmas Day
New Years Day
Twelfth Night
All are welcome!
REMINDER: Our service today will not be held at Good Shepherd!
Instead, this Sunday we gather with our friends at St. Laurence Anglican Church for a joint service and Sunday School Christmas pageant. You can find a recording of the service on their Facebook page which is www.facebook.com/StLaurenceCoquitlam. As Christ was born to reconcile all divisions so we celebrate with joy our deepening friendship with our Anglican siblings in faith.

On this Third Sunday in Advent, John the Baptist expects the Messiah to bring God’s judgment upon the earth. From a prison cell, he wonders whether Jesus is the one who will do this. Jesus’ response indicates that God’s reign is indeed being fulfilled already through healing and restoration.
Also, our service today will include the opportunity to come forward for healing prayer. Those who come forward will be offered a general prayer for healing.

It’s one the first things we teach our kids. “Always tell the truth”. Its good advice. So why don’t we live by it as grown ups? John the Baptist appears for us this week in our gospel as he does every year on this Second Sunday of Advent. With a sermon exhorting us to “tell the truth!” Especially about ourselves. Easier said than done. Maybe a little fire and Holy Spirit will help.

We’re still a month away from the dreaded task of making New Years resolutions. But today is the first Sunday of the new church year. Maybe a good time to reflect on those ways we need to refresh our discipleship habits. Maybe stay awake more. Dream more. Love more. All interesting suggestions from our readings today. How will they change the way we live the year ahead?

Today we have a wonderful and unique service planned for the last Sunday of the church year. We’ll be baptizing twins for starters. And then, at the end of the service, the congregation will join the choir to video-record a piece of music that will be posted on the Lutheran World Federation website for their Advent feature.

Its getting late in the church year. Just two more Sundays left. So maybe its natural for our scripture readings to focus on the theme of the end times. But that doesn’t make the subject of “the end” easier for us to hear. However, maybe it make Jesus’s words of hope in the midst of crisis stand out more. Can you hear them?

Its All Saints Sunday. A Sunday we take to remember those people in our faith lives that have been a source of inspiration and who now rest in God’s eternal care. And how curious we are about what that heavenly care looks like! Maybe thats understandable. But Jesus wants to give us something different and more life-giving to reflect on when it comes to the life hereafter. Join us and listen in…

Zacchaeus may have been a wee little man. But today he proclaims for us a huge and momentous truth about…housekeeping? Well sort of. At least not the kind of housekeeping that requires a dust rag and a mop. So join us today as we celebrate reformation from a different perspective.

The coming reign of God will involve unexpected reversals of fortune with judgment rooted in mercy. Today we hear Jesus tell a parable in which the one who humbles himself is exalted and the one who exalts his own righteousness is humbled. Also, thanks to Pastor Tim for leading us in worship today, while Pastor Eric is away in meetings with the BC Synod.
